Sock of the day

So here we are on the Sunday eve of Mothers day! Hope all my Possums had a great day! Moms all full on a great steak lunchin and got her control top hose rolled down and sacked out on the couch. Alls well that ends well. I'm just layin here with my relatives and enjoyin the day. The overcast day leads me to believe we just might have more rain on the way. Not a bad deal if your a duck or a plant. Don't choke on your own spit over the deal.

Our Chihuahuas have been walked and they are chowin down on kibbles. The long walk to the kitchen sink to fill their water bowl seemed to take a road trip effect. The things a owner has ta deal with. Sure! Make me get off the sofa! I was just sittin there thinkin the remote was a permanent extension of my natural hand. Go ahead! Burst my dreams! They just sit there lookin cute,stairin with their little heads turned ever so slightly as if ta say "what the hell is he talkin about?" OMG! What a drama queen! Just fill the water bowl and keep'em comin! You better work! Kibbles fillin their tummies,stop to catch a snooze. So now by this time,I had ta leave the sofa,thus makin me burn calories and I'm totally worn out! Bein a Sock monkey of age doesn't make it any easier. Ya'll know I'm half way to one hundred! I have lots of Sock wisdom stored up for all my years of collectin dust on a shelf! I forgot,I'm not that Sock Monkey. Funny thing is I've never really had time to sit around and collect dust. Mike keeps me pretty busy in front of the camera.

Work lures Mike out on a almost rainy night. Two days off just ahead and after this shift I speak of at this precise moment. Mothers day cakes flew out the door the last two days. Mike has been quite busy ta say the least. Holidays command his attention. It seems ta be his lot in life to make everyone elses special moments "special." Bubba

relaxin for the day

Howdy doo with The big Sock Drawer howdy! I'm just sittin here relaxin in my bubble bath of the day. Got a nice hot cup of coffee not to far off in the distance. Ya'll know it! Got a simple hint of chocolate flavor to make it one of those times of my life. And so it is. Here late deep in the night,is the best time for the comfort and relaxation. A really good time ta sneak out and egg A.K.'s house,but we won't get into that just now.

The thundershowers have been beaten down on our heads here in Nashville. The flowers out back are just lovin it. And they are growin like a house fire! Twill be beautiful for the summertime fun! Have'in cocktails out on the back porch watchin the gang activity of the area. The cops are always watchin and sometimes they make a few arrest. When ten police cars show up with blue flashin lights,it looks like Christmas! Have yourself a merry little Christmas in the back of that police car. And look at the nice new handcuff bracelet you received as a specail gift. Isn't it shiney and new lookin? I just pour myself another cocktail and sip my way ta stardom!

I got my people on the photobucket thang. Maybe we can figure out how ta get back to showin more of my pic's like the olden days. Kind of takes all the fun out of it not bein able ta share my pic's as I'd like to. I'll keep ya'll posted as the story unfolds.

By the way Mothers! Happy Mothers day! I'm a mother f-----! Does that count? Happy Sunday possum's! Bubba

Watermelon watermelon

It's getting that time of year again for the watermelon ta come on out and join every southern table in the land. The rain storms still hittin us pretty hard. The grass is love'in it. Our neighbor barrowed our lawn mower just today. He mows our grass as well for the use of it. Thank you Mr. James! Mike's usually to tired and sleepy from a long nights work. And that's all I have ta say bout that.

And as the story goes,and ya'll know what I'm talkin bout,Things have been all quiet on the P.O. front for now. That was quite the strangeness goin on. We still haven't figured what that was all about. But we guess we'll never know what was goin on in the dudes head at the time. Probably not worth knowin if the truth be told. Another one of A.K.'s stupid pranks. Her chops got busted on that one. Broken bitch face all around. I truely guess she lost a few gray hairs on that one. Let's all dig up the dead poodle in the back yard! LOL! Oh! I forgot! It's sittin right next to her.

Let's not forget Mothers day is this Sunday. Ya'll all rush down to WFM for one of Mike's famous cakes. He's been told he's way to fabulous on them. Mike always replies he's just sprinklin the fairy dust. Ms. T. needs ta take a frickin hike. Take yourself back to your miserable Atlanta where the hot air never stops. Along with A.K. mind ya. Carpet munch on each other.

April showers bring May flowers

April showers bring May flowers! A sock howdy handshake here at the beginnin of May! It has been rainin for several days now. It's a wet Nashville I must say! Guitars are soggy! If it weren't for cowboy hats and snake skin boots,we'd be in a heep a trouble. But....as the story goes.....alls well in Nashville. Country music sangers are still singin for their supper.

On the brown work sock side of thangs,we all got a hole that needs darnin! Ain't that always the way with a sock? Some got holes in their lives and keep movin on.

The day remains overcast with lots more rain on its way. A nice hot cup of coffee ta start the day off with. Mike took a brisk walk in the park yesterday afternoon. The pounds just fallin off him. I dare say he's lookin for love. Tryin ta get himself lookin sexy and all. he has plans of gettin out and about this summer to find it. I have to tell him that he better not forget about me if he does find the one. True loves first kiss is suppose ta be the most powerful thing there is. Thats the way they tell it in stories anyway. Its not something that can be faked or forced upon someone no matter how may times the A.K. bitch tries to throw folks in your path. The last one was a dosey! She does fit the bill of the evil stepmother queen. What a poison apple that one was she sent this last time. Nice try,but I saw through it first off. If it were real,after knowing each other for a year and a half,would have been datin on the outside of the job. So that right there was the first clue. Secondly,if he were really in love,the job blockin would not have stopped someone truely in love. They would have risk everything to let the other subject know of their affections. True love is a powerful thing that can not be faked! You can see it in their eyes. So....(take a sip of my coffee) We all know the evil queen gets hers in the end. And what an explosin it will be. Life holds many surprises. Poison apples can even come from the fairy princess. Paint a Nissan black and see what I mean.

Have a great day! Bubba

Live from Nashville

Nothin like an early mornin blog! Four o'clock in the mornin to be exact! Mike and I love the grave yard shift! On the weather side of things,they are callin for thunderstorms for a few days. It was suppose to show up tonight,but no white plastic cigar tip. It has finally gotten warm. We are thinkin it's here to stay now. The lows have come into the 60's at night. Time ta get our tomato plants in the ground for summer goodness! Nothin can compete with home grown tomatos. The free Christmas cactus finally got repotted. It was so root bound,the roots itself looked like the real pot it was in. Not good in the plant world. Could have choked itself out. But all is ok now. It has taken up residence on the patio for the summer. Not in direct sunlight mind you. They can't handle that much light. Sits in the shade for the most part. We just have gotten a cutting of a year round cactus. Cut one of the teardrops off and planted it in our yard. The teardrop is as big as a grapefriut. So we're excited bout that! I got it in the ground this very evenin. Just in time for all the rain that is suppose to be headed this way. We'll keep an eye out to see if it really shows up.

A brisk walk in the park this afternoon as Mike is still tryin ta get his weight off. He's doin really good thus far. Has lost 120 lbs.! Only took him nine months ta do so. I guess bein 50 really agrees with him. Fabulously 50! He says his life has only just begun. What a shame he was sick for his birthday weekend! Took five days off to celebrate and was in bed with a bad cold the entire time. They say everything happens for a reason. I guess the universe has other plans for him. I'll keep ya posted just in case it does. Sometimes he does ramble on bout things that happened over his life. But he's 50 right? I stop him and tell him,dude!,I was there remember?

I was so sorry ta hear Bea Arthur passed away! Wow....only two Golden Girls left. How sad is that? Our dear sweet Bea was 86 at her passin. She had cancer. Mak'em laugh in heaven and rest in peace. We will always love you. Thank you for bein a friend. You will always live on in the re-runs. The Sock Drawer will truely miss her.

We got the grass mowed today. The front and the back. Only takes a few mintues this bein a town house. The yards are very small. Well...I say grass. Our yard really is nothin but weeds really. After ya cut it and if ya stand back and squint your eyes,it looks like it could be grass. What do ya expect for a rental. Not our problem. Packin up and movin on.

I have a pair of Robin Red Breast livin on our patio. They have built a nest on top of our electric box. I was gonna take it down,but there are baby birds inside. Even I'm not that mean. So for now,the nest stays. I guess ya could say thats goin green in a way. Savin wildlife. And so I did.

I guess that bout covers The Sock Drawer news for now! Have a great week! Bubba

Thursdays taste of life

Good afternoon Thursday Possums! And welcome to The Sock Drawer! Socks are all washed,dried,fluffed and folded this afternoon. Nothing like sunshine dried socks on the clothes line! My human,Mike, has risen from the dead of sleep and he and I are sippin our coffee. He's on over night shifts for a while. He's always been a night owl.

The sun is shinin and it's warm today. We are still gettin down into the 40's at night. Had many thunderstorms this year. The weather has just been crazy this year. Hope you've enjoyed the weather channel blog.

Mike's cold is still hangin on even 8 days later. It just won't let go. He's tryin ta feel better. It's been some kind of nasty cold. We can send folks to the space station,up and down in a shuttle,but we can't cure the common cold. We can send machines ta Mars,but we can't cure the common cold. We can split atoms and create serious energy,but we can't cure the common cold. We have weapons of mass destruction,but can't cure the common cold. With all this technology,ya think we would have conquered the common cold by now. Not so much Possums. My human is livin proof of that. Sneezey,drippy,coughin and I don't know what all. Thank the good Lord I'm a Sock Monkey and can't catch the human condition. Poly-fil has it's good moments. It just goes ta show ya'll we aren't as advanced as we think we are. So we bundle up and sip hot chicken soup in hopes it will help.

Here's ta Thursday! Bubba
